Awaken Book 2: Hell's Rejuvenation

Madison goes through the crowds of demons without any effort as she vents out her frustration and sadness through every attack she throws at all of them. A demon came from behind her and she strikes him in the chest as the lightning doesn't kill him. It punches her as it goes through her electric cloak and stroke her, having her fly out and far of the herd.
"Shit! MADISON!" Quinn says as he teleports to her and SupaSound jets to stop the demon from proceeding. "Alright...T, what we got here?" He asks the system as it scans the demon before it turns around and growls. "Calculating...." the system says as the demon charges towards him and SupaSound blasts him with a wave of sound. It dodges it, throws a punch through the wave, making SupaSound catch it before it made an impact, "What the-?!?" He says as the demon progresses through the force and pushes him back. "Data concluded. This Demon seems to have authority properties over the rest of the smaller, weaker demons in the area. Killing this singular demon will take out the rest of the herd." The system says as SupaSound slides under its gigantic fist and places a gadget on its chest, slides underneath its legs, and flips back on his feet. The demon turns around to strike him as a loud pitch makes the demon fall to its knees and its head explodes, the demons in the area fall and appear to be dead.
Quinn helps Madison up to her feet and she cries in his arms, "Hey....we're here for you." He says as he holds her close. SupaSound lands nearby them, "I think I know how to stop this demon situation we got." He says as the two look at him. "That big demon that hit Madison seems to be the powerhouse of the herd, the head to the rest of the body. We take that out and we take out all of them." Allen says as Quinn sees the rest of them scattered around, slowly disappearing into a black mist. "We got the rest of the city, Madison, this can be good teaching for whatever this Knonus brings and from the tone from Johnson's last words, let his words count. Quinn and I will head to the second laboratory and I'm not 100 percent so for the best, I'll say on the sidelines and keep observation." Allen says as he tosses an earpiece towards them and she catches it. "I'll keep in touch." He says and nods, Quinn and Allen jet off and Madison's energy soars through her body as she flies to the next city.

Blood drips on the ground as Thomas has his hand deep in Hell's Gate chest, inches from his heart and all the way through his lung. "You will pay for everything you've done..." He says as Hell's Gate spits out a lot of blood. His body starts to freeze from the inside out, his skin color goes from red to a bright blue and frost covers the entirety of his body. Kaino, Genesis, Salo, and Sim watch as Thomas walks away from it; they all view Hell's Gate: absolutely frozen. The air pushes him over and he breaks into millions of pieces and Thomas starts to calm down as he walks to the others. "Is it over?" Sim asks as Salo closes his eyes. "Demons are still causing some problems on Earth, guess we still got work to do. Well you dwellers can take care of it, I got to go to Heaven, give some hopeless souls another chance of life since their odds are getting eaten by a demon or something. Salo says as he claps his hands and the group goes to Heaven and he sits in his chair in between them. "What a day. I haven't gone out of here since Knonus came...even then it was more of a stretch." Salo complains. "Knonus has been a name we've heard a lot of. Who or what is he?" Thomas asks as Salo sits up and crosses his arms. "Oh boy....he is far behind comprehension, the first demon to go toe to toe with Gods. He sees no threat, he fears nobody, no doubt in the world he lives in....he kills the gods, absorbs their souls, adapts their powers and abilities, and takes the world over. He accomplished this feat long ago, but the Gods leftover and aid from Saints was about to contain him." Salo explains. "Wait...contain? Why not kill?" Genesis asks. "With the particular Gods he killed, death wasn't foreseeable. Our best chance was to contain him, trap in within the Earth's Core. Believe it or not, the magic we enchanted the core with leaves him utterly useless. Absolutely no In or Out...you ever go there, you sealed your faith." Salo continues as Genesis nods her head in understanding. "Hmm." Thomas says under his breath as everyone seems ready to go back to Earth. "Have fun y'all. Make those baddies regret the day they were born." Salo smiles and laughs as they all vanish.

Christi teleports inside the cave and looks around, she sees a figure heavily wounded in the shadows. She shines a light to see more clearly, it's Hell's Gate, "Guess I made that clone just in time but the damage is done, I can't even stand." He says as she sees him leaking blood from his mouth, eye, and chest. "That...was a true remorse of an Elemental Titan huh..." He says faintly as he points at the bag she has. "The artifacts. You have them all?" He says as she nods and takes them out one by one. She places all the artifacts next to each other, forming a circle with her in the middle and Hell's Gate lying in front of her. A bright flash comes from nearby and the energy both Christi and Hell's Gate get a sense of urgency. "Look like me and be a diversion and don't die. I'll do the rest...myself. They won't stop this, not when I'm so close." Hell's Gate orders as she nods and she casts a mimic spell and looks just like him and slowly walks towards the opening of the cave.

"I sense more than Kain's energy from that deport.." She says as Hiro, BenKei, Kain, Donovan, Rana, Ava, Mary, and Whitmore land outside the cave. "Guess whoever's in there will be them, I sense Christi's energy in their. Along with a fainting energy..." Donovan says as BenKei turns into his Divine Monk form for a precaution. Donovan's silver dragon scales start to form around his body and two wings sprout out, "Guess we all have to come at full force." Donovan says as Hiro stands up from kneeling. "Something isn't right." Hiro says as they all see Hell's Gate(Christi)walks and smiles down at all of them.
